Inspector Matsuura chewed on the title of the book and couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart. Perhaps he could get some clues from it.
"Go to the nearest bookstore and buy me a copy of 'Er Lei Ye Heroic Stories'."
Superintendent Matsuura randomly called a police officer and assigned him to buy books.
"Don't waste your money, Inspector Matsuura."
Professor Changshan announced with a smug look on his face, "Because of my report, the Metropolitan Police Department has placed a large order! Er Lei Ye Hao Jie Tan has become a designated must-read book for the Fourth Investigation Division. Soon everyone will have a copy."
Chapter 215 Chapter 216 Akatsuki promotes the electronic and technological development of the Metropolitan Police Department
"How is Yuuki Mineko doing now?"
In a conference room of the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, the director of the Metropolitan Police Department, with graying hair on his temples and meticulously groomed, sat in the main seat and asked his secretary.
"Beep beep-"
A few soft noises were heard at an inopportune moment. The Superintendent frowned and looked over.
In addition to the police officers attending the meeting, there were several security robots that looked very high-tech in the corner of the conference room.
These police robots are black and white in appearance and look like large vacuum cleaners at first glance. They are over 3 meters tall and are equipped with D cameras and software recognition systems that can determine whether faces within their field of view are registered police officers.
Once an unfamiliar face is detected, it can be quickly identified within one second and a signal is sent through an alarm.
After being invaded by the Akatsuki organization's extraordinary person 'Itachi' and all the paper documents in the Public Security Section 5 Archives were looted, the Metropolitan Police Department learned from its mistakes and decided to strengthen its defenses.
Following the advice of the expert group, the Metropolitan Police Department began to use electronic technology to resist the infiltration of supernatural beings.
Because Itachi possesses the extraordinary ability to control the minds of mortals, there is no countermeasure at the moment, and the only thing to do is to strengthen the Metropolitan Police Department's electronic monitoring equipment.
There is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. In key departments such as the Public Security Section 5 and the Investigation Section 4, the number of visible cameras alone is several times more than before, not to mention the unknown hidden cameras.
In addition, these police robots, which were introduced from Silicon Valley in the United States at great expense, are also one of the results of the reform.
The police robot is also equipped with cameras, sensors, thermal imaging and odor detectors, all of which are designed in automated modes, patrolling and guarding 24 hours a day, and sending monitored data to the monitoring center in real time.
Although we still don't understand the mechanism of the supernatural beings' mental control, even if they can affect humans, electronic cameras and robots, they cannot be controlled by supernatural beings.
Extraordinary people are not hackers.
If another extraordinary person invades the Metropolitan Police Department, even if the police officers are controlled, the police robots will immediately sound the alarm.
Because of this, the digital and electronic office process of the Fourth Investigation Section and the Fifth Public Security Section was accelerated by twenty years.
For example, the meeting convened by the Superintendent of Police this time implemented paperless office, and all the police officers had tablets in front of them instead of the previous paper documents.
For a long time, the Japanese government's slow response and slow upgrading in the process of networking and electronicization are extremely disproportionate to the size of its economy, the world's third largest.
Many government agencies are still using floppy disks and fax machines, which has caused a lot of jokes.
Two years ago, the Metropolitan Police Department lost two floppy disks containing the personal information of 38 people who had applied for public housing in Meguro Ward. The disks became a hot topic on Japanese social media that day.
Netizens couldn’t believe that floppy disks were still used to store information in the Reiwa era!
Originally, netizens thought that this matter was already fantastic enough, but they did not expect that another big news would break out the following year.
The government of Abu Town in Yamaguchi Prefecture planned to give each of the 463 households in financial difficulties a subsidy of 10 yen. However, all the money went directly to an unemployed vagrant named Sho Taguchi, who immediately squandered it all through online gambling.
The reason was that the town office used floppy disks to exchange information with the bank, and there was an error in compiling the form, causing the bank to mistakenly believe that the first account was a collection account and transfer all the money to that account.
This floppy disk, which is so loved by the Japanese government, has a capacity of only and was developed by Sony CE.
It was popular in the 2011s and s, but was gradually phased out in the st century, and Sony stopped selling it in .
But even Sony itself could not have imagined that ten years later, the Japanese government would still be reluctant to let it go.
In fact, the Japanese government once promoted electronic information office work, but because the members of parliament are generally older, stubbornly conservative and unwilling to cooperate, the plan had to be abandoned halfway.
However, because the top-secret files of the Public Security Section 5 were looted, the Metropolitan Police Department has begun to digitize all files and enter them into computers in order to avoid leaks, and has also tried to make office work paperless and electronic as much as possible.
The expert group believes that although the extraordinary people have incredible spells such as mind control (Sharingan), instant teleportation (Transparent Release, Shadow Clone), and space folding (Summoning Scroll), it does not mean that they are superior to modern human society in all aspects.
The mysterious side has advantages over humans in certain areas, but its understanding of modern technology is definitely not as good as that of humans.
Can extraordinary people use computers or mobile phones?
Do you know what digitalization and electronicization mean?
The extraordinary people are very mysterious and ancient, but to some extent they are also old-fashioned and ignorant on the scientific level.
The magician in the dark castle, the practitioner in the deep mountains and forests, the solitary ascetic monk, in the stories, the extraordinary people are often portrayed as solitary and reclusive.
It’s no wonder that the expert group has this stereotype.
The Metropolitan Police Department also felt that it made some sense. That Scorpion of the Red Sand claimed to be an old monster from the Heian period and had been isolated from the world for thousands of years. In this case, how much could he know about modern technology?
Just like the wizards in Harry Potter.
In order to prevent paper documents from being leaked to extraordinary people, the Metropolitan Police Department made a painful decision to carry out electronic reforms, which have now begun to show results and have already taken the lead among other government agencies.
"Yuki Mineko only has minor burns in her mouth and is unable to speak yet, but she is fine now." The secretary replied respectfully, looking at the tablet in his hand.
"That's good."
After the chief of Yoyogi Police Station reported it, it was confirmed that Yuki Mineko possessed extraordinary powers. This matter has reached the ears of the top officials, and I don't know how many important people are concerned about it.
With the modern Internet and household registration management, ordinary people have no privacy at all. All of Yuki Mineko's resume and information from childhood to adulthood have been clearly checked.
For the Metropolitan Police Department, the appearance of Yuki Mineko was an unexpected surprise.
Yuki Mineko is an intern at the Metropolitan Police Department's Police Academy. She is one of the police officers and has a good family background and a clean record.
The Metropolitan Police Department has also sent a specialist to inquire about Yuki Mineko's teachers and classmates. They have a very good reputation for her and her internship results at the police academy are also quite outstanding.
Compared to doctors and office workers, trainee police officers possess extraordinary powers that are more stable and controllable.
The data analysis class is tailoring a psychological model for Yuuki Mineko based on all the information to assess her risks and psychological condition.
If everything goes well, Yuki Mineko will definitely be valued by the Metropolitan Police Department.
It's not just Yuki Mineko. Psychological models have also been made for those extraordinary people from the mysterious world and ordinary people who later gained extraordinary powers, such as Dr. Satomi and Hideo Tosu.
"I didn't expect that Yuuki Mineko and the Uchiha Inspector have such a connection."
The obese Section Chief Akagi slid the tablet computer with some difficulty. He was a little uncomfortable with using paper documents for many years.
"When Yuuki Mineko was in elementary school, there was an indiscriminate knife attack on the street. Yuuki Mineko's parents died as a result, and she was saved by the Uchiha police inspector."
Section Chief Akagi looked at the information on the tablet and a smile of approval appeared on his fat face.
"During her interview, Yuuki Mineko said that she applied for the police position because she wanted to help others like the police officer who saved her. She's a very good kid."
"Superintendent Uchiha, is he currently in Shizuoka Prefecture handling the case of the Hero of Tosu?"
Uchiha Senmon advised General William to leave the Buddha's stone bowl and Dr. Satomi in Japan, which impressed the Superintendent General and he nodded slightly.
"Haven't you found the Tosu hero yet?"
"Director, please give Inspector Uchiha some time. Inspector Uchiha will definitely give us a satisfactory answer." Section Chief Akagi stood up and bowed.
"Then I'll wait and see."
The Superintendent of Police then instructed his secretary to operate the tablet computer and send the file to the tablet computers of the police officers at the scene.
"You can take a look at some documents that contain all the details before and after the Myōbokusan incident, as well as an analysis by Professor Nagayama, an authority in the field of folklore."
The Superintendent of Police is over 60 years old and has only a vague understanding of how to operate the tablet computer, but he has a secretary to operate it on his behalf, so all he has to do is give orders.
But the police officers attending the meeting had to rely on themselves. Several older bureaucrats from the Metropolitan Police Department looked embarrassed and did not quite understand how to operate the tablet computer. They poked at it here and there, and even licked their fingers and slid them across the screen like turning the pages of a book.
Either he lost the page or he couldn't keep up with the reading speed, so he just pretended to be reading by gesturing on the screen.
"Orochimaru and the Toad Sage Jiraiya are truly incredible!"
"'Er Lei Ye Heroic Tale', are they really the prototypes of the characters in the novel written two centuries ago?"
"Myoboku Mountain, is there a mysterious world independent of reality..."
…………
The police officers present at the meeting were swiping their screens, whispering to each other and discussing.
"There were six other people who traveled to Myoboku Mountain. Why didn't they gain extraordinary powers?" someone wondered.
"In the archives, Yuuki Mineko said that the Toad Sage once said to her, 'You are the one with the best qualities among this group.' Others can also prove that Jiraiya has a special liking for her, saying that she is a rare talent, perhaps a natural genius."
The Metropolitan Police Department's interrogation experts and psychologists are highly professional people with special interrogation techniques.
The questions often hit the nail on the head and get to the point.
The experts from the Metropolitan Police Department were patient and persuasive, often inadvertently repeating questions they had asked before during the questioning process, and repeatedly comparing the answers of these people.
This not only helps to find out whether they are lying, but also allows us to deepen the details and reconnect the content that these people have inadvertently forgotten or ignored.
Even if Yuki Mineko did not display any extraordinary abilities, the consistent and flawless testimonies of the six people basically ruled out the possibility of collusion and lying.
The Metropolitan Police Department obtained a large amount of information about the mysterious world in one go.
The mysterious world hidden behind historical myths has revealed the tip of the iceberg again!
"Orochimaru, the one wearing the iconic black and red cloud uniform, is he also a member of the Akatsuki organization? What is the purpose of this organization?"
The topic of the meeting began to shift to Orochimaru.
Whether it's Orochimaru's appearance and temperament, or the fact that he asked for several people as sacrifices as soon as he appeared, it can be seen that he has evil intentions and an evil spirit.
Even in the work "Eriya Gokaitan", Orochimaru appeared as the main villain.
Although I don't understand why the Akatsuki organization frequently descends upon reality, but judging from the previous contacts between the Metropolitan Police Department and this organization, they are definitely plotting something big and harboring evil intentions.
There is Scorpion, Tobi, Itachi, and now there is Orochimaru.
It’s really adding insult to injury!
Everyone is ready to make a move and have ill intentions. The most important thing is that no one knows what conspiracy the Akatsuki organization has. The asymmetry of information makes even the Superintendent nervous.
The limit of the military power demonstrated by the Akatsuki organization has not yet made the Self-Defense Forces feel invincible, but what the government fears most is the extraordinary people's elusive ability to teleport.
With their current destructive power, they can already suddenly decapitate the cabinet.
For this reason, Japan's prime minister and cabinet have now entered a wartime state, rarely appearing in public, and the media no longer reports the whereabouts of the prime minister and cabinet ministers in advance.
Even when the cabinet meets, it holds computer conferences in various districts of Tokyo.
They were just afraid that the extraordinary people from the Akatsuki organization would teleport to the scene and capture the entire cabinet.
However, there is no such thing as a thief who steals for a thousand days. Now the normal operation of the cabinet has been greatly delayed, and even the Congress is hesitating whether to postpone the implementation.
"The situation is quite unfavorable to us. Even if we don't attack government organizations, if Akatsuki suddenly launches an attack in a big city, the consequences will be disastrous. Akatsuki, which has malicious intentions towards humans, has already produced four extraordinary people, and the only one standing on our side is Master Dilu."
"The Toad Sage Jiraiya did not hesitate to fight with Orochimaru for a few ordinary people and even escorted him back. He should not be the type who treats ordinary people as grass." A police officer said as he looked through the information in the electronic file word by word.
"In the story of Erlei Ya Heike Tan, he is also a chivalrous hero and a positive character, and an enemy of Orochimaru. Although the report from Myobokusan points out that the two seem to be from the same school and are not as incompatible as in the novel, Jiraiya is quite disdainful of the Akatsuki organization, so we should be able to win him over to our side."
"If we can get it, there will be great potential. Unfortunately, we can't find the passage to Myoboku Mountain, so the Metropolitan Police Department has no chance to meet this Toad Sage..."
The Superintendent looked a little regretful.
"咚咚-"
The door was knocked open and a police officer walked in carrying a large cardboard box.
"I sent someone to the nearby Kinokuniya bookstore to buy some copies of 'Er Lei Ye Hao Jie Tan'. All police officers attending the meeting, take a copy! Tomorrow, I want to see your reading notes!" said the Superintendent of Police in a serious tone.
"Eh--?"
The police officers looked miserable, recalling the horror of being dominated by the Chinese teacher.
Chapter 216 Chapter 217 The Evil Spirit of Wakasa Bay
After the meeting, the Superintendent walked out of the door first, followed closely by his secretary.
"Director, the chairman of Sumitomo Corporation called again and hopes to have dinner with you."
The secretary reported respectfully while swiping the tablet in his hand.
"And the former finance minister also..."
"understood."
The Superintendent frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
These chaebol leaders and former ministers were really well-informed. Less than half a day after the report came in from the Yoyogi Police Station, they pounced on us like leeches smelling blood.
